The boot sequence depend on initrd build by mkinitrd.
rebuild initrd :
mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.8-1.603.img 2.6.8-1.603

Check the initrd image :
$ cd /boot
$ mkdir tmp
$ cd tmp
$ zcat ../initrd-2.6.8-1.603.img | cpio -iv -m -d

check if /lib/ext3.ko exist.


Use the latest mkinitrd :
# rpm -q mkinitrd
mkinitrd-4.1.14-1
